Simple Soothing Facial Toner

The main function of a toner is to cleanse the
skin and shrink the appearance of the pores.There is a danger that if we over cleanse our skin, it can lead to
excess oil production and throw the skin out of balance.For that reason I make moisturising more of
a priority and try not to over cleanse and always make sure that if I do use a
toner, its mild.

Sensitive skin – a mild toner with virtually no
alcohol i.e. rose water, water and humectants* to keep the upper layers of the
skin moisturised

Normal/combination skin – a tonic with up to 20%
alcohol i.e. orange floral water, water and humectants is recommended

Ingredients

Sodium PCA – Occurs naturally in human skin and is responsible
for binding moisture to the cells as it holds several time its weight in water,
which makes it an intensive humectants.Allantoin – soothes skin and promotes cell regeneration

This was wonderful for the beauty brands as they
were guaranteed a sale of 3 products, and it was hinted that the best result
would only come from using products from the same range.Then over the years combined cleanser &
toners were developed and then came the face wipe, which suited us all as it
saved so much time, and was so handy, the only negative being potential
landfill problems.

Rating

Value for money – +_ £3.00 for a 200 ml bottle available
from most druggists and supermarkets and online

Effectiveness – this is very kind to the skin,
with the majority of the ingredients being beneficial

Pampering factor – although it is gentler on the
skin than most toners, I feel the need to heavily moisturise after applying
